Love me or hate me both are in my favor if you love me I'll always be in your heart but if you hate me I'll always be in your mind. -William Shakespeare
Daisy was laying on the bed she was so weak she could barely move on her right was her fellow hostage a doctor and supposedly Shield's leading experts on disease and medical research and over in the far-left corner was the man or the thing responsible for all this. He or It was just sitting on stool watching her from the shadows she didn't understand any of what was happening was even happening for so long she'd been his prisoner and all the while her health was declining and yet he clearly had nothing to do with it but he clearly knew before she did about her poor health.
The machines started to go off "What the hell is going on? I thought you said the new serum was working!" He screamed stepping out of the shadows that black ooze or whatever it was consumed his body making his face and voice once again unrecognizable he became like a muscular oily black monster with a white spider symbol on his chest and back.
"I- I- I'm sorry the cancer it's not natural it's designed to be resilient to all forms of treatments all except one."
"No! You will save her or I swear to God I will tear you to pieces. Do you understand me? This thing inside me it amplifies the dark and twists and warps everything else in a person it will not have her!"
Hours later the doctor finally stabilized Daisy and she was regaining consciousness the monster was now in a chair waiting "Why are you doing this?" her voice was weak she could barely summon the energy to speak.
"I'm a monster." He replied his voice filled with despair "I died and should have stayed dead. Then Norman Osborn wanting to use my skills brought me back from the dead using Kree blood he acquired from the aliens which thanks to Hive had arrived on Earth. I was to infiltrate some Newspaper the Daily Bugle. It was strange my name became Eddie Brock and I made a friend or maybe enemy I never really could tell the difference with him, with Pete-" He stopped "The bottom line is I did to him what I did to some other people I cared about and I ended up paying a heavy price. He did something strange though no matter how many times I fought him he never really did anything but reason with me. Now I'm still a monster Skye but when I say that contrary to what you believe sitting back and watching you bleed is not something I really want I hope you know that I am telling the truth. However, I do not want us to be monsters together. So, I am going to save you any way I can other than the one way I know will because I can't bear the idea of you having this thing inside you."
"Please just tell me your name. I know I know you I just can't remember."
The black monster leaned in its head tilting like something was going on inside its head and its voice changed it was as if two people were speaking "We remember the second Eddie Brock the name Osborn gave to us after restoring life to-"
"To who? Why are you so afraid to show me your face?" She asked unable to fathom how someone so strong could be so afraid of something so simple as revealing their face.
The creature's voice and demeanor changed as it had so many times before it was often like someone else had taken over "If he shows you dear sweet innocent Daisy his face then I'm afraid that you'll be the one afraid. I'd think it should be obvious though who we are. He knows he hurt you and for that he's truly sorry. He knows he's been toxic to everyone in his life and that he's akin to poison in your veins and that is why we want you to call us Venom."
